There are 3 key components that one must adhere to in order to have success in the fitness arena. As a former Marine, I like to come up with an acronym for everything I do so it’s easier for me to remember it.
Today’s acronym is F.I.T., This stands for Frequency, Intensity and Time.
Frequency- How often one trains.
Intensity- How hard you train during your workouts.
Time- The duration of you workouts.
If you keep all 3 of these things in mind while putting your plan together, you will prevent yourself or your client from hitting a plateau and also ensure that one gets enough rest to perform at their best when the time comes.
Now go tear it up~

Today, I thought I’d share with you one of my all time secrets from the weight room of Strength and Endurance.
As some of you may know, what you do in the weight room of your high school or college even, doesn’t always transfer onto the field or court. However, this workout does and has delivered tremendous results not only in the conditioning of our athletes, but also in their verticals and speed.
We call it the Barbell complex. You can change the exercises to be performed to fit your needs but to keep it simple, I’ll just use the following to explain.
Load a barbell with a weight that you can perform all three lifts with perfect technique. ** Attention coaches…. “Never sacrifice technique for weight”
From here, perform 15 minutes of straight work on the following exercises.
8 Hang Cleans / 8 Push Press / 8 Bent Over Rows
That’s it… As the old saying goes, “Keep it simple stupid”
Now go Train!
